Overview
- Richarlison sustained a hamstring injury in the FA Cup loss to Aston Villa and is expected to be sidelined for up to seven weeks, Thomas Frank said.
- Frank confirmed Tottenham are in the market for a striker but stressed any deal must suit the club’s short- and long-term plans rather than a quick fix.
- Tottenham completed the signing of Conor Gallagher this week, with 19-year-old left-back Souza reported as poised to join pending a work permit and the club reported to be blocking loan interest in Mathys Tel.
- Attacking options remain stretched with Mohammed Kudus and Dejan Kulusevski currently out and Brennan Johnson sold earlier this month, though Dominic Solanke has returned from a long absence.
- Operational changes continue with Fabio Paratici set to depart for Fiorentina, Rafi Moersen arriving to lead football operations, and John Heitinga appointed assistant coach as Spurs sit 14th with one win in seven.
